Albert Buchanan Philpott (December 21, 1858 – September 22, 1916) was an American shopkeeper and Baptist minister who founded the community of Philpott, Virginia. A lifelong resident of Henry County, Virginia, he represented the county in the Virginia House of Delegates during its 1914 session.[1] His grandson, A. L. Philpott (1919–1991), was elected to the house approximately four decades later and eventually rose to become speaker of that body.
